Friends
, this post is not about charity , donation. This post is about providing
livelihood to a rural woman. You ( those who are following us since long )
might be aware that in past2 years we
have trained more than 30 women and girls of a village in hand embroidery work.
Now they are doing awesome work. We never intended that after being proficient
in hand embroidery work we will bid them good bye . Instead we have always
intended to source work for them so that they could earn livelihood regularly.
We are making all efforts to come up with more and more designs and products and
also trying to find out the market to sale the products and also to develop
Ahambhumika’s product as a brand. This will take some time. We are making Tote
bags , cushion covers, small sling bags and small applique work sling bags.

In the meanwhile our women are continuously doing the work
of hand embroidery being provided by us. To keep continue this endeavor we need
fund. With this post we request you all to buy a bag at least and support us.
By buying a bag you will not only support a rural woman to earn livelihood for
a day but also can see the neatness of hand embroidery and beauty of the
product. You can further show it to the likeminded people so that they too are
encouraged to buy this. We have selected only one design for this. The image of
the same is posted below. We have kept the price of the bag bare minimum so
that anyone can buy at least 1 bag. A bag is priced Rs.330 + shipping Rs. 70 =
Rs.400. Thus total cost of 1 hand embroidered bag at your door step is Rs.400 (rupees
four hundred) only . Below is our
banking profile. You can buy any quantity of bags you desire.

Below is our banking details to make payment for purchasing
the bag /s.

After making payment you are requested to send us a mail
with the details mentioning the amount contributed by you , quantity of bags
andyour complete address with pin code
and a major landmark so that we can ship you the bags. Our e-mail is

Dear Friends, Aham Bhumika cherishes to
fulfill its log dream of providing nutritious food / supplement to its rural kids of pre-school. There are 40
children in the rural pre-school of Ahma Bhumika based in village Borda, Kolar
Road, Bhopal .The belong to the
underprivileged background .The parents of these children work as daily wage labourer.
The children do not have access of proper food. That’s why besides pre-school education we are aiming to provide
some nutrition too ; to our rural kids. These will boost their energy and also
keep them healthy.

To start with we will provide milk added with sugar, some energy supplement like
Bornvita / Horlics and some snacks like
biscuits made of aata ( flour ) and sometimes some seasonal fruits. Tentatively an amount of Rs.500 will
be required to meet out the expenses for a day. We will start provding milk and snakcs from the moth of November 2015 fater raising some fund to start with.

We will update our donors through our Facebook page and Twitter from time to time by posting the pictures of distribution. However if any one desires ; he can visit our school during school time and see our small endeavour.

Keeping in view the shortage of
fund we will provide milk and snacks on every alternative day. Once we have
sufficient fund we will take it up every
day. Our school runs every day from Monday to Saturday from 9.00 AM to 12.PM
The weekly offs are every Sunday plus 2nd and 4th Monday
of every month. On an average we have 6 weekly offs during a moth and total
average working days of the school are 24 days.

For sponsoring for a day we need contribution of Rs.500.

For a 5 days week it comes to Rs.2500 .

For a
6 days week it comes to Rs.3000.

For one month we need contribution of Rs.12000.

Besides above one can contribute for any number of days as per his /
her own convenience.

With
this post we are appealing to the people to support for this worthy purpose for
any number of days as per thier own convenience. Below is the banking details of
